​Kait is a dance artist trained in butoh primarily under the lineage of Kazuo Ohno. She has studied with influential teachers including Seiji Tanaka, Atsushi Takenouchi, Yumiko Yoshioka, and Imre Thormann.

 

Her practice is deeply informed by land-based movement, textual arts, and mythic narratives, exploring the intersection of body, imagination, spirit and landscape. Kait looks at how aesthetic, performance and poetic practices can generate knowledge and ignite discussion, enabling embodied, emergent and participatory forms of insight.

 

After a 10-year career in the fashion industry, Kait moved into dance and has recently completed the MA Creative Practice: Dance Professional programme at Trinity Laban, London, on a Leverhulme Scholarship.

Her work looks towards movement as an accessible form of embodied epistemology, considering dance as a way of learning, engaging with questions of beauty, identity, and transformation. Through Butoh, landscape immersion and literary study, she contemplates body as medium and sign, theophany and gift. She views the body as poetic utterance, engaging in dialogue with the living world.​​

​

Kait’s practice engages with theological somatic hermeneutics; body as storyteller and site of revelation. She writes on the poetics of encounter, which she defines as meeting the ‘other’ through landscape, emotion, bodies, the sacred, and the imaginal through movement and states of receptivity.

 

Alongside her dance work, Kait creates soundscapes, mixed-media visual art and poetry, as well as designing and delivering inclusive creative workshops. Merging dance with multiple creative modalities, she explores interdisciplinary discourse by foregrounding sensing, relationality, and receptivity as valid ways of knowing.
